The president’s order stipulated that the former head of the State Special Communications Service, Yuri Shchigol, would be removed from the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander.
The President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky decided to change the composition of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Headquarters (SVG). Now the former head of the State Service for Special Communications, Yuri Shchigol, will not participate in the meetings. This is confirmed by the corresponding order of the head of state.
“Remove Supreme Commander-in-Chief Yu. Shchigol from Headquarters,” the document notes.
The Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Mikhail Fedorov, was added to the staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Headquarters.
We remind you that a scheme of corruption was discovered in the State Service for Special Communications. Participants in the scheme withdrew 62 million hryvnias to the accounts of controlled companies abroad for the purpose of further legalization.
As we already wrote, on November 22, the High Anti-Corruption Court decided to impose a preventive measure on the organizer of the scheme, in which the former head of the State Special Communications Service, Yuri Shchigol, took part. The suspect was taken into custody with the possibility of bail in the amount of 50 million hryvnias.
It was previously reported that the government fired the head of the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine, Yuriy Shchigol, as well as his deputy for digital development, digital transformation and digitalization, Viktor Zhora.
